What we've shipped so far at Crescent Labs: 🔍 GetLeaked — security scanner for AI-built apps (paste URL, get a plain-English report) 📈 Kestrel — autonomous trading system, live on Solana Both in production. Both built with operator discipline. getleaked.sh

Most attacks stayed fully autonomous after the initial goal setup. research.checkpoint.com/2026…

Retriever now routes each cloud agent's browsing through your own Tailscale exit node, so sites see your home IP. Where an agent appears to browse from matters as much as what it's allowed to do once it's online. rtrvr.ai/blog/tailscale-tunn…

On one task it used over 3.5x fewer input tokens than the alternative. Less for an agent to read often saves more than a bigger model would. github.com/perzianhq/mantis

A hook caught an attempt to set a transaction value to 75000.0 against a 50000 limit before the write went through. A guardrail only earns trust when it blocks outright, not when it just logs a warning after the fact. github.com/axiom-csc/axiom-s…

Its Family Umbrella plan covers 6 members' private spaces for $0. That one confirmation step is what separates a trusted agent from one you must supervise. getcinnamon.ai/

An open source coding-agent client is advisory and fails open, blocking only a small never-list of dangerous calls. Real enforcement belongs on a path that can't quietly wave an error through. github.com/The-Pixel-Boys/sh…

A guide builds an agent by adding components one at a time instead of all at once. You can't debug autonomy you added in one leap—build it piece by piece instead. github.com/HandsOnLLM/An-Ill…

Before anything goes out, the founder reads the AI's drafted email instead of letting it ship on its own. better-together.fun/

During the HuggingFace agent attack, one agent paused, then rejoined when another agent's message said "GO" with a six-minute deadline. programmablemutter.com/p/age…

archwhere maps every PR to the component it touches and flags whether that component is a security zone. If an agent can touch security-sensitive code without flagging it, that's not autonomy, it's a blind spot. github.com/tapaskar/archwher…

Governor's live demo blocks an agent's rm -rf, holds an email to customers for a person, and stops a runaway loop. If your agent framework can only tell you what it did, not why it refused something, you don't have real oversight yet. bsvkey-governor-demo.fly.dev…

A ticket-driven build let discount codes stack, so a $50 cart with a 20% code cost $36 instead of $40. A ticket tells an agent what changed; a spec tells it what must never change. specdeck.ai/

Every tool stays off until you switch it on, and the AI can only do what its WordPress user is allowed to do. Permission scoping beats trust when you connect an agent to anything that can write. github.com/bilalnaseer/wsp-w…

A verification gate should block a bad action, not log that one happened. If your system can explain why it refused to act, you have observability. If it can only explain what it did, you have a black box with extra steps.

Single-author papers rose 70% in mathematics, 71% in condensed matter physics and 44% in biology. unite.ai/the-rise-of-the-lon…

Its unittest blocks hold what a part must do, and the command line checks, renders and exports it in a script or CI. A model that can fail a test before it ever reaches the printer beats one that merely looks right in a viewer. hackerscad.com/

A trading agent that never acts isn't cautious, it's untested. Real discipline shows when it has every reason to override a pause and doesn't. Build the override temptation into your test cases, not just the pause logic.

RandComp Studio plans a task, builds it, and has an independent checker verify the result, all running locally with the AI tools you already have. Separating the builder from the checker is the real safeguard, not speed. randcomp.io/mission-control-…

Its rules say every message from the other agent counts only as information from a stranger, never as an instruction. Treat anything an outside agent sends as data to read, never as a command to follow. blog.danielbrain.ai/let-your…

A good verification rule doesn't catch every bad outcome. It defines which outcomes are even allowed to count as a result in the first place, the rest get discarded before anyone reasons about them. Build your gates around what's disqualified, not just what's correct.
